Getxophoto Photo Festival 2024
Getxophoto is a festival focused on the image that has been held in Getxo -Basque Country- since 2007, created and managed by Begihandi. An initiative in continuous search of being more participative, committed and sustainable.
We conceive the festival as a platform from which to address current challenges through different proposals by visual artists from all over the world, with the aim of creating spaces for reflection and establishing a collective conversation.
We defend public space (both physical and online) as a place of encounter, mutual recognition and a field for experimentation, play and celebration against its homogenisation and privatisation. For this reason, most of the programme consists of outdoor installations, highlighting the link between the image and the environment and generating a more horizontal and participatory relationship with the public.
